Jaromir Jagr wants to extend his NHL career, and his agent said some teams are "very interested" in his 41-year-old client. Jagr might have to wait a while, but the leagues active scoring leader is hardly the only free agent still looking for a new job this weekend. "He definitely still wants to play and there is some interest in him," Jagrs agent, Petr Svoboda, told The Associated Press on Saturday. "I think its going to take some time, but you never know for sure because there are three teams that are very interested." Svoboda declined to say which teams wanted to sign Jagr. J.P. Barry, who represents two of the top free agents, Daniel Cleary and Mason Raymond, also expected a relatively slower pace of moves. "Weve touched based with several teams, and many of them are being patient at this point," Barry said Saturday. "Weve got options for (Cleary and Raymond), but were in a holding pattern with each of them because I think everyone is taking a breath this weekend. "Ive been through about 15 of these, and there is always a frenzy of moves then a pause to reassess and then a second wave. Its tough to predict when that second wave will happen, so were always on call when teams are ready." Day 1 of the free agency flurry on Friday included dozens of deals, including Jarome Iginla signing a one-year contract worth as much as $6 million with Boston. The Bruins almost acquired the six-time All-Star late last season when Pittsburgh got him from Calgary at the trade deadline. Nathan Horton cashed in on his second strong post-season performance for the Bruins with a $37.1 million, seven-year contract in Columbus. Daniel Alfredsson made perhaps the most surprising move. The 40-year-old forward is taking what might be his last shot at winning the Stanley Cup with the Detroit Red Wings, jilting the Ottawa Senators after being the face of the franchise. The Senators tried to bounce back by making a bold trade for Anaheim forward Bobby Ryan in exchange for a pair of promising players and a first-round draft pick. On Saturday, the second day NHL teams could sign free agents, the pickings were slimmer. Several top-tier players were taken off the market by teams that agreed to and signed deals following two days of talks. St. Louis agreed to a one-year deal with veteran forward Derek Roy, pending a physical. The 30-year-old Roy split last season between the Dallas Stars and Vancouver Canucks and finished with seven goals and 21 assists. Among the other relatively notable names still available Saturday included Mikhail Grabovski, Ilya Bryzgalov, Tim Thomas, Damien Brunner, Toni Lydman, Brad Boyes and Brenden Morrow. Teemu Selanne is an unrestricted free agent, too, but no one expects the 43-year-old Finnish Flash to leave the Anaheim Ducks if he chooses to keep playing in North America. Ducks general manager Bob Murray plans to contact Selanne next week to find out if he is close to making a decision on returning or retiring. Senators general manager Bryan Murray, though, was among the many shocked when Alfredsson said he was ready to leave the only franchise he has played for in his 17-season NHL career. "He indicated winning a Stanley Cup was an opportunity he couldnt pass up," Murray said. "He told me the two teams he was talking to. He told me he thought they were in a position ahead of us to make that happen." While Alfredsson could have stayed in Ottawa to make more than the $5.5 million he will be paid next season by the Red Wings to chase the Cup, Horton is leaving a championship-contending team to be well-compensated by a franchise in Columbus that is without a post-season win in its 12 seasons. "This is a team on the rise with great players, and Im looking forward to being a part of it," Horton said. Jagr, a five-time scoring champion and former NHL MVP, was able to continue his career during the lockout-shortened season when the Dallas Stars gave him a $4.55 million, one-year contract last summer. After Jagr had 14 goals and 26 points in 34 games for the Stars, showing he could still produce, Dallas dealt him to the Bruins. He had nine points in 11 regular-season games with Boston and 10 assists in 22 post-season games. He didnt have a goal in the playoffs but made key plays that didnt show up on the score sheet. Jagr teamed with Mario Lemieux to help lead the Penguins win a pair of Stanley Cup championships as a teenager in his first two NHL seasons in 1991 and 1992, and was the league MVP in 1999.

Only five franchises in baseball have won more games than the Tigers since 2006. But is their window closing?Whats goodComerica Park is gorgeous, and its attendance hasnt slipped below 2.4 million in a season since 2006, so its no surprise that one of the Tigers best rankings comes in stadium experience (32nd overall). This is still a team with star power on the field -- Justin Verlander, Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez, Ian Kinsler, Justin Upton -- and that constellation is complemented by a group of younger players who could be the stars of the next generation, from J.D. Martinez to Nick Castellanos to Michael Fulmer. Meanwhile, off the field, the Tigers have a powerful combination of committed ownership (fans appreciate that 87-year-old Mike Ilitch is still passionately pushing his team to win and ranked him 28th in ownership), rabid fan base and sizable market, which gives them a strong financial advantage in a division in which none of their competitors can match them.Whats badFans are clearly unsure about the job manager Brad Ausmus is doing; he ranked just 106th in coaching after a second straighht year missing the playoffs.dddddddddddd His roster for next year is uncertain: For the first time in the free-agent era, the Tigers ended this season with a higher payroll than the Yankees, and many competitors believe this team doesnt have the revenue to sustain a $200 million roster. Dont rule out a massive deal, especially when you start counting how much money is tied up in the Tigers aging core. In a sport thats trending younger every year, bringing back all the stars could be a formula for the same sort of implosion that brought down the mini-dynasty of the Phillies just a few years ago.Whats newDetroit climbed 15 spots in fan relations in 2016, thanks in part to kid-friendly events (kids run the bases every Sunday!) and promotions (Coloring books! Growth charts! A piggy bank!). Thats especially fitting because the Tigers future is largely in the hands of their young pitchers: Michael Fulmer is 23, the likely rookie of the year and a future ace. Daniel Norris is a 23-year-old left-hander with a bright future. Matt Boyd is 25, with a dazzling feel for pitching. When we say its been a long, long, long, long time since any Tigers team has had three young starters such as that, we arent kidding. You have to go back more than a half-century, to 1965, to find the most recent Tigers team before the 2016 edition that had three starting pitchers, age 25 or younger, who made at least 10 starts apiece and all had winning records.Next: Arizona Diamondbacks?| Full rankings Cheap NFL Womens Jerseys Cheap Stitched Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping Discount NFL Jerseys Wholesale NFL Hoodies Cheap Jerseys Throwback Cheap Jerseys Throwback ' ' '
